HapeKid's Coffee Maker Wooden Play Kitchen Set with Accessories

We purchased this little coffee maker for our grandson several months ago, adding to his ever-growing "kitchen" collection. He spends a good deal of time playing with his Hape Cook n Serve Kitchen and the addition of a coffee maker was at the top of his wish list. I noticed that whenever our dear grandson becomes less interested in playing "kitchen" that a purchase from his kitchen wish list will rekindle his interest in his entire collection.As with the other Hape toys we have purchased, the quality of this little coffee maker is excellent, and it is sure to last for many years to come.Owen especially likes that his coffee maker looks like the Keurig we have, and he enjoys opening and closing the yellow lid on top to "make coffee".Downside:• It would have been nice if Hape would have included other "coffees, teas, and coco" "felts" so Owen would be able to "make" different kinds in his coffee pot like we do in the real one.• I wish it had come with 2 cups rather than just the one. Then we could have our "coffee together"Upside:• I love the little sugar spoon• Owen likes the cow picture on the milk carton (however now he says he "needs" a refrigerator because "milk cannot sit on the counter all darn day"• The Hape coffee maker was reasonable priced ($16.93) other similar priced coffee makers I found were plastic or of a lesser quality or "unfinished" wood----------------From an Educational or Developmental Perspective: Hape - Playfully Delicious - Coffee Maker Wooden Play Kitchen Set supports a child's creative development.In a world of brain science and cognitive development, Creative Development is often overlooked or considered less important -sometimes even optional.

I bought this toy because my son, who is 2, has recently been obsessed with making Mommy coffee in the morning. I have been letting him help in the kitchen and the coffee maker is one of his favorite things to help with. I always handle the water, but I let him open it, put the pod in, push the brew button. He likes to help so much, but obviously, the fun ends once the brew button is pushed because I'm not going to help once hot liquids are involved.Thankfully, Hape, which is one of my favorite toy brands, had the perfect "just like Mommy" coffee maker. Now, the fun lasts all day and he can do it himself ("I do it" is one of our favorite phrases right now). He doesn't play much with the "coffee pod" but he opens/closes the top, pushes the button, makes his own brewing sounds and mixes in sugar and milk when he is done. It is pretty cute. He also like pretending to make grandma some tea, daddy some cocoa, etc.Overall, it has been great. It is a quality toy and will definitely hold up well to continuous use. The only things that I could see to make it better, would be if it came with additional "pods." However, I could easily make some additional ones out of felt from a craft store and will probably do so when he shows more interest in that feature of the toy.

I love the idea, the look, the quality. My daughter’s favorite toys are her dolls, her tea set and now this coffee maker.There are two things they could improve on:1. Add a second mug. They say it “encourages social development”. People typically don’t share the same cup of coffee when they socialize :D2. I wish you could actually put in and take out the k-cup. It is only for looks, so children can’t actually pretend to do the whole process. Kids love putting things together then apart, so I think it would be even more enjoyable.Side note: some people have trouble engaging in activities with kids so young, like 2 or 3 years. This toy (and our wooden tea set) is a super simple and fun way to play with such little kids. It doesn’t require much energy or creativity, yet you spend precious quality time with your child.Overall I love it and very much recommend it.

This was for our two year old who loves it. The coffeemaker, mug, milk carton, sugar cup and spood, are made of wood, which we prefer over plastic. She has the Hape kitchen set and this is somewhat large for the "kitchen counter" but makes a great pretend play addition. There is no action with thjs toy. The top has a button to push to simulate either turning the coffeemaker on or filling the cup, depending how she feels. The "coffee pod" is a small piece of felt, this is a disappointing aspect since there really is nothing to do with this. The top of the coffeemaker is pulled open, to expose the small white coffee pod, and stays open until closed. The pod is removable, but not worth removing. This comes with one mug and unsure if you can order more separately. This is obvious from the picture and I was aware when purchasing, but would have preferred to pay another dollar or two for two mugs so we xould enjoy our coffee together.

Diese Kaffeepadmaschine ist der Knüller! Ich finde die Farbe ja schon sehr ansprechend (endlich mal keine pink und rosa!!) und dass alles aus Holz ist, gefällt mir super gut!Es war ein Weihnachtsgeschenk für unsere 2,5jährigeTochter und wurde sofort ausgiebig benutzt. (Mehr noch als der passende Toaster). Ich hoffe, dass wir viele Jahre Spaß daran haben werden. Ich würde sie aber für den verhältnismäßig kleinen Preis auch nachkaufen - sollte sie wirklich mal kaputt gehen (Was ich mich fast nicht vorstellen kann).Einen Punkt Abzug nur, weil das die aufgemalten Streifen an einer Stelle verwischt, also nicht akurat aufgetragen waren. Ich bin da recht pingelig, da sollte man schon drauf achten, wenn man etwas verkauft, aber zurück geschickt habe ich es deshalb nicht. Sooo wichtig ist es dann auch wieder nicht. Umtauschen wäre sicher eh kein Problem gewesen.Blöd finde ich, dass sie jetzt ein paar Tage nach Weihnachten 5€ günstiger ist. Das finde ich Pfuscherei, aber ist natürlich typisch. Die 5€ sind gut investiertes Geld!Die Milchtüte gefällt mir auch super gut! Das Kaffeepad kann man ganz einfach mit Filzplatten aus dem Bastelgeschäft nachbasteln - dann hat man ein paar mehr und ich werde auch braune Pads für Kakao dazu basteln. Man merkt schon, dass unsere Kleine sich nicht "traut" auch Kaffee zu trinken - der ist ja schließlich nur für Mama und Papa. Somit bekocht sie im Moment nur uns und trinkt selbst nicht. Aber da ist sie wohl speziell :-)

Vom Christkind gab es diesmal eine Küche für meine 2jährige Tochter. Bei meiner Nichte spielt sie so gerne mit der Küche und auch mit der dort vorhandenen Hape-Senseo-Maschine. Somit war es klar, diese auch mit unter den Baum zu packen. Nach nun drei Monaten spielt sie immer noch sehr gerne damit-macht der Mutti einen heißen Kaffee und schüttet Milch in die Tasse und löffelt Zucker hinein und rührt dann mit dem Löffel den Kaffee für mich um. Das kleine Kaffeepad ist einfach total süß!Punktabzug gibt es, da die Tasse mittlerweile gesprungen ist-sie fällt halt auch mal runter. Schade-was den Spielspaß aber nicht beeinflusst. Und es besteht auch dadurch keine Verletzungsgefahr-also ok.Ich würde sie wieder kaufen und auch ohne bedenken verschenken! :)

My three year old has been watching mummy hard at work at the espresso machine making drinks for daddy for the whole of his life.... He loves this well built coffee machine. It has cute little accessories and all of the wood feels good quality and sturdy. I think kids enjoy playing with kitchen stuff that they either like themselves (pizza sets and cake) or that they see mum and dad use.... If you have a coffee maker or espresso machine in your home I don't think you'll be going wrong with this. Has nice features that make it great for the three year old set but also for them to use as they grow and their imaginative play is more extensive. Makes a great mocha ;)

A lovely little coffee making set, the cup has already chipped a lot but the rest of the set looks good. The little felt coffee disk is long gone...it would have been nice to be a wooden disk or maybe have more than one. I think I would buy the Le Toy Van Cafe Machine over this, because of the fact my children lost interest after the little bit of felt went missing.
